I don't like shooting with my quiver on because of the added weight to the side. It seems to cause me to cant the bow if I'm not paying attention. Plus it adds extra noise to the shot so I just take it off when I get to my stand.

I have to resight my bow in before opener with the quiver on,it causes side torque for me,not as noticable from short range but it does make a differance from long distances.

This is absolutely funny, to me. I hunt with mine on.....and I couldn't imagine the SLIGHT actual weight of the quiver and arrows making any difference. I'm 6'+ and 200lbs......
If that little bit of weight makes a difference......what happens when there's fewer arrows in your quiver? Less difference.....but still "some".....lol.
And.....I've taken 4 deer this year......2 of them requiring (in my mind) follow-up shots (If I can get a second arrow into a deer....I'm going to). I can't imagine not having the follow-up arrow immediately at hand. THAT is why I hunt with my quiver ON.

I shoot a 1 piece detachable, 4 arrowFuse, but I leave it on 90% of the time. I practice with it on with my arrows in it. If I ever need (or get) afollow up shot, I can do it much quicker.

Quiver off! I don't like the added weight, thats why I have such a light weight bow! Plus the added weight to one side makes me have to think about one more thing when it comes time to shoot! Always quiver OFF!
On my climber I have a extra quiver holder attached to the rail, so I snap my quiver to it as soon as I ready to Hunt!

i keep my quiver off...sometimes i think it might be nice to have it attached though for the hike back, incase you bump into a deer and need to make a quick shot.
i just like the way the bow shoots without the quiver on it.
